Museums, libraries, art institutes, and many other types of organizations need online exhibits - websites that mimic the experience of walking through a gallery discovering interesting and beautiful objects. Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection recently completed a major website redesign, with Plone as their chosen CMS, and online exhibits are an important part of the new site. They wanted many features, but they also wanted online exhibits to be easy for content editors - even interns - to create.
In this talk Sally Kleinfeldt and Alec Mitchell describe collective.exhibit the new open source Plone add-on for online exhibits that we have created for Dumbarton Oaks and for the Plone community. Sally will provide background about what Dumbarton Oaks wanted in their online exhibits. Alec will describe our implementation, covering our use of Dexterity content types, bulk content creation, and how we used templates to provide a rich feature set while still making it easy for inexperienced content editors to create exhibits.

Museums, libraries, art institutes, and many other types of organizations need online exhibits - websites that mimic the experience of walking through a gallery discovering interesting and beautiful objects. Commercial museum collections management systems often provide this, but they are expensive and their features are often limited or require extensive customization. Open source exhibit software has proliferated in recent years, and some of these systems now provide features that approach CMS functionality. But what if you are starting with Plone, which is already a full-featured CMS?
Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection is engaged in a major website redesign, and they have selected Plone as their CMS. Online exhibits will be an important part of their new website. They envisioned many features, such as image panning and zooming, timelines, favorites, and object comparison, and they also envisioned that online exhibits would be easy for content editors - even interns - to assemble. In this talk I will describe the online exhibit package that we have created for Dumbarton Oaks, and our incremental approach to defining and implementing it.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.
